Commercial robot incidents, November 2026
1 commercial robot incidents dated November 2026 so far (provisional, verification backlog), 0 with a person hurt and 0 fatal. 2 cases were added to the register during the month. Largest class: autonomous vehicles (1).
Provisional. 441 reports published in or just after this month are still in the verification queue, so the count will rise as they clear. A lower figure here means a slower queue, not fewer incidents.
Incidents are counted by the date they happened, 2026-11-01 to 2026-11-30, so this month is still filling in. Counts measure what was reported in the press the register reads and cleared verification; fleet sizes are not public, so nothing here is a rate. The register holds 258 cases in all. Rules on the methodology page. Previous month: October 2026. Quarterly view: the quarterly record.
